Thank you for commenting on these rings. I'll have to see what other rings like these I can find on Amazon. I really like the idea of quote rings.

David Lean’s Brief Encounter (1945), Based on a Noël Coward’s Play: Film Review
I wish there was a way to borrow more films from the Criterion Collection. This one I found at the British Council Library.

Hilary and Jackie (1998): A Hugely Engrossing Film
Thank you for mentioning Pinchas Zukerman. I had never heard of him. Maybe he'll come play in one of the Enescu festivals.

Husbands and Wives (1992), by Woody Allen: Movie Review
I love Woody Allen. I somehow missed his last two movies. I hope I'll catch them on TV sometime soon. And yes, Sydney Pollack has a beautiful, expressive face :) Can't remember the voice exactly, so I'll take your word for it :)

What Is Gangnam Style? Gangnam Style T-Shirts
I recently saw some people dancing to it somewhere (on TV). It's the kind of dance, like macarena, that will probably get to be a mainstay at parties.

In Praise of Chick Lit
Mira, Very nice! One of the appeals of chick lit, in book and film form, well may be the vignettes of current events, language and style.

My Ideal Bookstore
Mira, Very nice! My ideal bookstore follows your floor plan but looks like a cavern with cave art, Flintstone-like furnishings, Frank Lloyd Wright-like floors and skylights. But I haven't figured out what to do about the moisture!
